Re: 96 850 Testing for battery drain

Each time you check your current draw, you are reconnecting your battery, so the alarm is doing a reset.

Try pulling the plug of the ignition switch with the ammeter in circuit to see if the current draw falls, perhaps?

Re: 96 850 Testing for battery drain

Sounds like you have a parasitic draw. JimBee is correct, anything after the decimal is mA. If it's been a constant issue your battery could be weak beyond repair. As long as it holds some charge you should try to find the draw before you replace it. The key to ruling out parasitic draw is finding t...

Re: Restore car paint

Clear coat repair is tricky, time consuming and very easy to mess up... you could sand down the edges of clear coat with 2000-2500 grit, then try to clear coat that whole panel again, but If the edges aren’t perfect, you will have troubles. There might also be a noticeable height difference. For the...

Re: Restore car paint

Wet sand to remove swirls is extremely unnecessary, wet sanding is a last ditch effort to remove orange peel or deep scratches. The whole point of paint correction is to use the least aggressive method possible. Jumping straight into the most aggressive is not good advice. Furthermore, removing wet-...

My thoughts on the 850's interior design

In 17 years of driving my 1997 850, not one day did I think "this is better in new cars" about any interior feature. I can go on and on about the remarkable and awesome design of my 850. The interior never once felt poorly designed. Good design lasts. The controls were properly placed. The...

Re: Decipering OBDII readers: questions

8 years ago, I used the ELM327with Torque app on a cross country trip in my 850 base. It was fine for what I needed, accurate speed, MPG, a couple of other things. Now, I'm looking at the ELM327 again and found this recent post by esl-97-850-T5 on what appears to be the latest fully featured 850 up...

Re: Can a 5 bolt p80 REAR hub fit on the 93 850 4 bolt axle

Got the part numbers switched, 271585 is the four bolt, 271795 is the five bolt. It looks like the question is: Are the spindles the same for both part numbers. Volvo sold the spindles and the hubs as a set. You might try changing out the hubs. If that does not work out, go back and get the five bol...
